Greatest Driving Moments

    I89 southbound heading towards NY from VT.  Sunny, green, and a clear
road ahead.  Suspension all setup, every crack felt in the seat of my pants,
just how I like it.  I held my foot on the gas coming down a long sweeping
hill into a 2 mile straightaway.  Eventually the speedo stopped progressing
forwards at 135mph, obviously a bit over estimated, completely redlined on
the tach.  Must have been doing 120-125mph and the car was as solid as a
rock.  Huge grin on my face, even though my car wasn't a quattro:)

    Driving the 200q20v avant in the past snow storms in NY this year made
for a very different, but just as enjoyable experience.  Jumping on the gas
in the turn and powering out sideways like a rally car driver.  Watching
plow truck drivers expressions when cruising by at 45mph in heavy snow is
also quite enjoyable.

Cheers!
